Hello, literally everyone making game can make it popular easy with some work of course but I am having too way many problems and they are:

1- How do I make people come back and play the game?
2- How do I come with a good game idea specially for beginner developer
3- How do you come with ideas in making designs for your GUI because you cant put a random UI design in your game for example (You cant put cartoony UI in sci fi game)
4- How do you monetize your game without making it pay to win?

I actually have one idea but its going to be very very expensive and requires tons of robux that can be higher than 300k, I have in my wallet only 275k robux

I am trying to avoid hiring people so I can use robux for sponsors
I also have idea such as making a roblox tutorial game that people can use to learn how to do everything in roblox it is not profitable but its simple idea I just do not know how to do it I do not have ideas for the UI that include how to join groups how to blah blah and making your account secure and sometimes even I get problems on how to get a building design idea

If premium players play your game, then its not pay to win. For example you could give benefits to people with premium membership, to attract them.

You also want to make sure to see how people find your game, if they found it by advertisement, then they won’t be able to join it back unless they go to their recent played games, or if they are able to find the game by some keywords.

I have other ideas such as my game reaching front page when you search for it or even goes into recommended and etc… but I still also need answers on other questions

You could look to games outside of roblox, (not literally remaking it) but that could be inspiring I guess.

I played tons of games such as house flipper, ark survival evolved, tropico 5,6, SimCity like most of those are actually complicated games and I kinda want to make game I also enjoy it

  1. Make your game unique and interesting. They will come back often.

  2. Use your imagination. Everyone has different and unique ideas.

  3. Try to get creative and imagine the GUIs are in 3D Shapes.

  4. It’s all about convenience, not power.

Originality isn’t what keeps players coming back for more. It’s all about the gameplay. If the game has quests that are engaging, they’ll come back to complete it and make some progress. If the game has a super awesome rewards for doing all the quests in the game, players will come back for it. It’s all about doing something fun for a reward.

  1. Try to make it interesting. Go onto the roblox games page and see the games that are popular, and try to find a game that can inspire you to make your own, and more people will join because the game is popular so they like that kind of content.

  2. I’m not too sure, though maybe do something you enjoy that is calm and ideas will come to you. (It does for me) for example, if your listening to a song… uh… for example… that Heather song by Conan Gray? You could create a woodland roleplay from it, as heather is a plant, and there are plants in the forest. Idk…

  3. I’m not too sure lol sorry

  4. Maybe you could make a donation button? You could make it for different amounts too. (5 Robux, 10 Robux, 50 Robux, 100 Robux, 1000 robux, 10,000 robux, etc. and people will donate if they enjoy the game. I’m not actually too sure what you mean but thats an idea on how to get more money.

Also, you have tons of robux o_o i only have 200 robux and thats alot for me lol
